The Tiffany hallmarks look good. Dumb question, but did you measure it at it's widest part? I think it's hard to measure it accurately without a caliper. Also, did you try taking it in to a Tiffany store to have them clean it? They won't clean it if it isn't genuine. (Mind you they don't do authentications.)
Happy to have found a thread for Tiffany bean! I just love it and it's meaning. The 18k bean is simple yet so elegant!
I've just noticed that Tiffany seems to have a new bean size, even smaller than the mini. It is 7mm. (The other sizes they have are 9mm, 12mm, and 14mm.) The gold/rose gold 7mm are $400! Tiffany doesn't have many gold pieces that are under $500 so this is exciting, at least to me.
There doesn't seem to be one of these itty bitty ones in sterling silver.
Has anyone seen and/or tried on this new tiny bean? Any impressions or opinions on it? Tiffany.com doesn't have that 'neck model' wearing one on any of the listings so it's hard to imagine what it looks like. Ty~

I recently purchased a pair of of the smaller 7mm beans in rose gold - they are very dainty! I gave one to my mother for Mother's Day and wear the matching one myself (an inside joke marking a living organ donation surgery). I have a smaller frame and think it's the perfect size for subtly wearing it - it took a week for a colleague to notice it.
There was 7mm one in sterling when I went to look at them, strangely enough. I tried all three, to see what worked with best with my skin tone.
Thank you so much for your reply! I figured they probably made a sterling silver 7mm but sometimes certain pieces aren't on their website for whatever reason. So nice to hear you like the size - it sounds very delicate and feminine! Is the bean so small that the bean moves off center really easily? I am so intrigued.
It stays pretty centered. I'm debating having it shortened - I initially had it shortened to 15.5 inches because I wear it layered with a platinum DBTY necklace (with 5 diamonds) and didn't want them to tangle. It still does tangle at this length, but not too badly. For the most part, the bean stays generally centered.
Not the best photo, but this gives you an idea against the DBTY.
Here are some pics of the RG bean in the 7mm size. I am fairly petite and find it perfect for every day wear.
